Typically, there are two options to ensuring APIs have the right governance: manual checks or long documentation (or both). There is now a third option in APIOps — integrating your GitOps process with the API lifecycle, automating the enforcement of API standards from design time. This ensures API security, quality, consistency and resiliency across distributed teams at scale, therefore improving productivity for developers and operators whilst reducing risk overall.

Developer teams need to move faster than ever today and reusing services is a great driver for agility. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use ServiceHub to enable development teams to search, discover and consume existing services. You'll also learn about Runtime Manager and Vitals for operational metrics of deployed services.

In this Kong Konnect tutorial, you'll learn how to get started with Konnect and manage your API ecosystem from a single, easy-to-use interface. We'll cover how to use Konnect Runtime Manager to set up your own Kong Gateway instance in Docker. Then we'll walk through how you can expose, secure and manage your first service using the Konnect ServiceHub. Lastly, we'll publish that API to our developer portal and show how you can share that documentation with your users and developers all within Konnect.

In this Insomnia tutorial, Ahmed Koshok will walk you through creating your first request and how to leverage environment variables. Insomnia is an Open Source Desktop Application for making API Designs and API Requests.

This tutorial by Kong Champion Mert Simsek shows you how to create a custom Kong plugin with Go programming language.

Kong Gateway (OSS) has launched 2.4 with a number of awesome new features and fixes. Kong’s Online Meetups are a place to learn about technologies within the Kong open source ecosystem. This interactive forum will give you the chance to ask our engineers questions and get ramped up on information relevant to your Kong journey.

In this Kong Gateway for beginners guide, you’ll learn how to do the following. Kong Gateway can simplify scaling microservices by being the abstraction layer that routes clients to your existing upstream service while building a new service. It also applies a common policy for each request and response no matter where the target service is. The benefit of this is that you gain architectural freedom and modernize your application without impacting your clients.

As organizations adopt an API-first approach, there are many connectivity patterns to consider, and the developer experience needs to be excellent to promote adoption. It can be challenging to enforce API governance while enabling developers to build applications. This session recording covers how an organization can empower developers to use Kong securely, enable access control to the Kong API and Manager, enforce authentication/authorization in applications, and implement a zero-trust security model.
